Abstract:

   The Reilly EternaMark (REM) Protocol defines a dual-layer method for
   digital permanence through the integration of Digital Object
   Identifiers (DOIs) and blockchain timestamping.  The protocol ensures
   digital artifacts are permanently identifiable, immutable, and
   verifiable for both present and future use.

   Revision -01 extended the -00 specification with a formal REM Record
   structure, a machine-readable artifact manifest format, a
   verification procedure, implementation guidance, and expanded
   security and interoperability considerations.

   This revision (-02) additionally documents the protocol's function
   as a prior art record system under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1): a Full REM
   Record establishes that a publicly deposited artifact was available
   to the public in its exact recorded form no later than a
   cryptographically verifiable date, enabling its use as defensive
   publication against later-filed patent claims.
